chore: remove create_slideshow — slideshow API has been sunset#738
Merged
Conversation
The slideshow upload API (POST .../video/create_slideshow) has been sunset server-side and now returns 404. Remove the corresponding SDK surface: - uploader.create_slideshow (lib implementation + v2 re-export) - its TypeScript declaration and the type-spec usage example - the slideshow integration test BREAKING CHANGE: cloudinary.v2.uploader.create_slideshow has been removed. The underlying API endpoint no longer exists, so there is no SDK-side replacement.

Brief Summary of Changes
The slideshow generation Upload API (
POST /v1_1/<cloud_name>/video/create_slideshow) has been sunset and is no longer served — requests to it now return404 Not Found. Since the endpoint no longer exists, the corresponding SDK method can no longer function, so it is being removed rather than left in place as a method that always fails.Removed in this PR:
cloudinary.v2.uploader.create_slideshow(...)— thelib/uploaderimplementation and itslib/v2/uploaderre-exportcreate_slideshowTypeScript declaration and its type-spec example404)All other uploader methods (
upload,upload_large,explicit,multi,generate_sprite, …) are unaffected.Who is affected?
Only applications that call
cloudinary.v2.uploader.create_slideshow(...). After upgrading, that call throws:If you do not use
create_slideshow, nothing changes for you.Migration
There is no drop-in SDK replacement, because the server-side feature itself has been retired — the previous behavior is no longer available through the API on any SDK version. If your application relies on slideshow generation, please reach out to Cloudinary support to discuss alternatives for your use case.

Reviewer, Please Note:
masterbecause the endpoint returns404. Removing the dead method and its test makes the suite green again.uploader.create_slideshow) and the published type definitions, so it should ship in a release that flags the breaking change in its notes.
